Repent Church!

{Invocation of the Holy Spirit}

Daniel 8:13-19 and 9:1-11
(Divine Instruction from a Divine Teacher)

~~~ As the World turns, and no I am not talking about the soap opera, we are growing or should I say waning further and further from the Lord God our Creator. And it seems that nobody cares anymore. Evil has taken over and Christianity seems to be getting kicked right out of the door BUT! God has a surprise for this world. It really shouldn’t be a surprise but some folks are hard-headed and won’t believe or listen. He gets the last word and no matter what the world has planned for people, God’s plans for HIS people will be appropriated at His own time which is soon just as He did in Daniel 8:13. Newsflash: The Illuminati DOES NOT rule this world, the Jesus-in-us, rules this world. The Holy Spirit sees it all and reports it back to the Father.

Daniel 8:13 begins with a power struggle between a certain 2 horned ram that had one short and one taller horn and a goat that was so high within himself that it appeared that he didn’t even touch the ground. This leader had what we call ‘clout.’ No one on Earth could touch him. With all of his power the goat ran into the ram and broke his horns (most likely some kind of leadership) and took over. He stomped the ram into the ground and no one could deliver the ram from the goat’s fury. The goat grew and became very great, magnifying himself with so much self-exaltation that he bragged even to the prince of the host. The pollution of the sanctuary was so bad that the saints began to ask one another “how long is this going to go on?” Just as we are doing today.
Next it talks about the cleansing of the temple in verse 14 which is needed today. We are no longer living the clean, sanctified lives that Christians used to live. Yes, we’ve fallen into religion but we also have been learning the mistakes that the religious have made and should be learning from them. It seems that we aren’t learning but slowly and surely God has a remnant who is learning and practicing what true Christians are to do as far as signs, miracles and wonders which ARE happening today. You may feel that you are in a losing battle or that you aren’t good enough to serve the Lord, and some may have even told you or made you feel that you aren’t, but I have good news for you today……God is coming for your rescue! Hang on child of God, Jesus sees you and is willing to reward you with safety, peace and rest. Yes, He is coming. There is nothing that we experience today that Jesus didn’t experience Himself when He was here. The bible says that He did so much that even the bible hasn’t covered it all, the book would be too big.

1. The enemy is trying to make us feel that we are little and losing.
   a. A voice came to Daniel in a vision in verses 15-19 telling Gabriel the Messenger Angel to tell Daniel what is to come in the end times. I believe that this is going on now. This powerful spirit of the anti-Christ is (seemingly) overpowering the Body of Christ, the church.
   b. Our churches and ministries are being ordered to close down, etc. We need to pray folks. We
   need to strike back and act like we have a pair. (Pardon my expression.)
   1. We can get together like in the Martin Luther King days and protest racism but can’t seem to “reason together” to protest against the Anti-Christ spirit. Martin Luther King did what
   he was called to do, bless his soul but, what have we done since!? Did Jesus die with
   Martin Luther King? No. Who is our Spiritual Leader today? Where are they? Still
   learning how to “vocalize” the Word? Are they still trying to build bigger churches? Selling
   bibles instead of giving them away? There are so many versions of the bible but are people
   reading them?
   2. Too many are giving in and fitting in with this evil spirit. He has blinded many of us and some can’t even see how they’ve been blinded and will actually argue with us on various subjects. Christians can’t even get along in politics much less other topics.

Speaking of which, let’s talk about the elephants that are in the rooms of Christians worldwide. We are no longer living holy as God tells us to. a lot of the Body of Christ is fitting right in to the world so that you can’t even tell if they are saved or not. This is one reason that God is going to accept the remnant and only the remnant that is forming as we speak.

Being holy does not include flesh in any form unless you are making it do what your spirit tells it to do. You have to have a good prayer life to live a Godly life. Have an intimate relationship with the Lord. Talk to Him, He listens.
Intimate: Be closely acquainted, familiar, close, friendly atmosphere, state or make known. Meditate on. He is our only door to peace. We try too hard to get things done without Him. Just obey God and let Him set you high above everything of the Earth. Walk in a higher level.

I have some points that I’d like to cover about The Church today. (Hard word, I know.)

1. The spirit is supposed to conduct every transaction that we do during our days. He makes us live at higher standards. People get so religious over Eph 5:4  Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks. It’s okay to crack a joke once in a while to lighten someone’s mood or to laugh and enjoy life but not to fit in with the world and have people worship you because you please their flesh. We need a healthy balance. We should also not be so serious that people would be afraid to hold a light-hearted conversation with us. I’ve seen some ministers that are so serious and high-minded that they are no earthly good. They are full of themselves. They’ve practiced preaching so much with the innuendos, climaxes and growling that they scare the new Christians away. They demand attention with their practiced religious talk and language. The Lord told me to watch who I give public credit to because some of them may not truly deserve it. Timing is important. I had to repent of being overly zestful in accrediting someone. I’ve had some take it and plow over me as though I didn’t exist. Put it this way, I’ve learned. I was so timid years ago, putting everyone higher than myself that I didn’t even realize that God was bringing me up as well. My voice matters. The devil doesn’t want you to know that your voice matters. For years I didn’t preach at certain events because I didn’t think that people listened to me. It’s all about timing. I’ll give you an example of my correction in a minute.
2. Ladies, I’m talking to the church now, present yourselves better in the church with your dresses, blouses, etc. Skirts so short that people are afraid to sit behind you when you get up and cleavage so overpowering that you aren’t sure if something is going to fall out at some point.
3. Men dressing more like women today than the man that God made them.
   a. Football players dressing like women, scarves and all. Anyone remember when we start seeing feathers in pro wrestling? I do. Shook me. We saw it coming even then in the 80’s.
4. Pastors with tight-legged pants that make you wonder how they got them on that morning. Forgive me but I don’t like the raggedy clothing that people (and pastors) are wearing today. They went to far with that “don’t judge me” stuff. The bible says that God will take such good care of us that we will want for nothing and our clothes and shoes will not appear worn out. Answer that one. God is too good to me to make myself appear ‘ragged.’ Stop following the world church. It’s unattractive. You want to talk about a ‘wear out?’ here’s a good one to watch out for: Dan 7:25  And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
5. (and I’m not trying to body shame anyone) Large-built people, dressed in clothes that are so tight that you can count the wrinkles on their bodies.
   a. When your clothes look like they are painted on and you start to look like a party balloon (thanks to Pastor Oprah who first suggested that America should change how they dress.)
   b. Christian women today are so busy showing their breasts and the “diamonds”
   (spaces) between the legs that men can’t concentrate on the Word. I saw a lady
   recently roll her behind on the camera so much that I couldn’t keep watching what she was
   attempting to convey. It was like watching a Persian dancer enthrall the King at a banquet in the book of Esther.
6. People taking their time trying to make up their minds whether or not they want to accept Jesus.
   a. Don’t be like the foolish virgins. Get oil (anointing) in your lamps. Anointing doesn’t always include growling, screaming and spitting. That does not make a good preacher. Don’t be bedazzled by someone’s style. I speak in my normal tone when I preach and people from all
   across the world thank me for preaching what I preach. They simply hear the Word! I don’t need theatrics! A man from my own home county just commended me Saturday afternoon out of the blue in Messenger, and I quote,
   “…Be prepared for an increase in the influence God will give through you because of your discernment and obedience even when it goes against worldly ideas, thoughts and ways. You are part of God’s remnant. God told me that the humble will be exalted and those that have been exalted will be humbled. So get ready for what God is doing through you, mighty woman of God!! The reason that you most likely do not get much encouragement is because you tell folks what they NEED to hear not what they WANT to hear. And sometimes it goes against their beliefs or even culture. But it is the truth and they need to embrace the wisdom you share.”
   a. I am glad to be different. I don’t want to copy some Apostle, Pastor, Elder or Minister. That would be horrifically boring and a waste of God’s time. Yes, I know that I am different, blunt, crazy sometimes – people can’t decipher my moods, and I love a good joke that makes people smile, but I love Jesus more than it all. As long as He is pleased, I am ecstatic. God gave me a 180* from what I used to be. I lived on what others thought of me. Now I live on what God has ALREADY said about me. You should too. This chickadee is
   free!
7. We were talking earlier about the pollution of the sanctuary. Must I get on that? Ok, I will. You people who live what you know are ungodly lives and call yourselves choir directors, praise and worship singers, choirs and bands, you ought to be ashamed of yourselves. You are accepting sins of the world, accepting worldly thoughts and behaviors, standing in the pulpits of God’s house. Bethel, which means “House of God” and no I am not talking about certain churches that go by that name. You have the “Eli’s sons Syndrome” defaming the house. Then some pastors wonder why their churches aren’t getting people saved or getting new souls in the house. If they can do what they do, and be what they already are in the world, and in the church….why get saved?

Salvation is not a Club with a membership. I’ve seen many choir stands on Sunday that smelled like rot gut from Saturdays Bar Hole. You open your mouth to sing and the smell of regurgitated liquor on someone’s breath or seeps from their pores, gets on our tongues and almost makes us choke. That’s probably why so many people in the pulpit have water bottles so that they can wash down the left overs of someone’s spirit-breath. And I don’t mean Holy Spirit. They are under the wrong Leadership. It’s not of God.

I’ve been to pulpits where the pastors and ministers offer alcohol in the Pastors office to relax folks once they got in the pulpit. I was shocked! I’ve actually sat in pulpits where the ministers held long, drawn-out conversations while the choir was singing and the music was playing. I went to one once where the ministers talked so much that I had to stop answering them because I was getting into the song that the choir was singing. The song was outstanding but I almost couldn’t hear it! That looks absolutely crazy sitting in the pulpit talking and laughing while PRAISE AND WORSHIP is going on!!!!!!! I never went back. Do you know that praise and worship precedes the battle? Jehoshaphat asked for the singers and after they sang, the Lord Jehovah Sabbath fought their battles and the enemy turned on themselves and killed each other. How can we get VICTORY church, if our ministers aren’t even paying attention to the music that the choirs sing? How can we get victory if the choir is drunk or hung over? You can’t be led by 2 spirits, God and Alcohol. Somethings gotta give.

We need to repent folks. Stop asking God to accept all of your nasty, ungodly, evil baggage without giving Him your soul and repenting of your sins. The Church is full of unrepented baggage just like the Temple when Jesus walked in and the man that had been possessed ‘for years’ cried out to him. This man sat in church for years possessed by the devil. Bet there weren’t any wheelchairs thrown away in that church huh? (See Mark 1:21+) You Tube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxRf1_WAUfA

God sent His only Son Jesus down to this sin-soaked Earth to save your soul from an eternal fire and here are some of us, waiting for the ‘right’ time to get saved. When we are ready. Well, your ready may not be God’s ready. Amen? Get right church and let’s go home.
Let’s check out the Word ‘repent.’
Repent 2708:
The first meaning of repentance is “to turn” H7725 and H5162 in Strong’s Concordance is shub, “shoob.” To turn back, turn away, retreat, lay down, lie down, refresh, relieve, rescue, restore, recover, reward, withdraw. Reminds me of the song by Whitney Houston called, “Shooby do” where she sings about the variations and emotions of love. Sometimes it’s good and sometimes it’s bad.
It is also “to repent” which is Nacham, naw-kham, to sigh, breathe strongly, to be sorry, have pity, console comfort, ease.

God tells us to be holy and throughout the years we’ve forgotten how to be holy. Being holy is not a man with feminine ways, dressed in pink like a woman, up in the pulpit preaching or directing the singers who are the ones who bring on the anointing to win our battles. Then we wonder why churches are so weak and have no anointing. You have a weak man leading the church! We can’t get over the sins that are an abomination to God. We have to be so “inclusive” anymore that we can’t discern right from wrong! Clean yourself up and then MAYBE get a position in the church. Even Jesus allegedly studied with the Essenes (a tried, true and holy group of ministers) and learned for 30 years before ministering for 3 before His death. If Jesus learned, we should too. You are not going to have illicit lives, putting your mouths on anything that pleases the demons in you, and then think you are going to put your nasty lips up to God’s microphone (shofar) that He provided for His servants. I don’t think so. He will NOT give that church power until they repent of their evil ways. Don’t steal this anyone but one of my next messages will be “The Devil didn’t blow a Shofar.” Amen?
God doesn’t accept baggage, He gets rid of it. Jesus shed His blood so that you can be free of anything that is taking a free ride on your back and trying to give you arthritis and a lack of energy. You can’t see it but it’s there. As I said last Sunday, “Vampire Spirits.” Say goodbye to the Vampires and hello to Jesus.

Are you saved? Now is the time to accept Jesus Christ as your Savior. With all that is going on around the world, you need a friend. Jesus can be that special friend if you allow Him into your life. He is your helper and His Holy Spirit is your Comforter.
If you are not saved, just repeat the Romans Road after me: Say “Jesus, I repent of my sins, I am so sorry Lord. I believe that you died on the cross and rose 3 days later from the dead, just for me and I accept what you have done, I accept you as my Savior. Thank you Jesus, amen.” Now go find a bible believing, Holy Ghost filled church and learn of Him, it’s never too late. Your new life starts now. All old things are gone away. God throws them as far as the East if from the West. Now….go live, laugh and love! 

Num 6:24  The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
Num 6:25  The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
Num 6:26  The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
Thank you for coming on today and I pray that your week goes by Victoriously! 
Rev Essie signing off! God bless and have a great day!
